True number one contender fights are more rare in the UFC then Aldo facing opponents on the first go around.

Porier, Siver, Halloway were all supposed to beat Connor. I wasn't buying the hype until he started making guys look like complete shit. Anderson Silva did that too made guys look so bad that people discredited his opponents at the beginning of his career until he wrecked their favorite fighter then he was legit.

Mendes is a better fight then Aldo we'll see if Connor can top the take down if he can and beats Chad the Aldo fight is even better.... that's if Aldo comes back to fight. The UFC is making moves to get rid of him.
Well I can tell you are just a casual UFC bandwagon fan so your opinion means jack.

Mendes has lost to aldo TWICE so IDK how you think mendes is a better fighter than aldo maybe but down the pipe for starters.

If you were a educated mma/ufc fan you would know macgregor WAS suppose to beat all of his so far matched up opponents before aldo/mendes. The who reason he got them matchups was to be easy fights for connor to hype him up.

Why do you think they didnt match connor up with any wrestler base fighters? its because he cant beat them.

Didn't say he was a better fighter at all said it was a better fight due to all the questions about Conor's take down defense and ground game, questions that Chad will answer and provide an entertaining fight rather then watching an injured champ?

But since you are a novice at reading comprehension I can tell your opinion means jack.... lol. fucking clown.

You're super hostile dude.

Illiteracy is nothing to be mad about, even at your advanced age of what? 17? you can set the time aside to learn to read. Just remember it's never too late. Might need a squeegee to wipe all the rage froth from your eyes so you can see.

Macgregor=Sonnen 2.0 both are just loud mouths. If Macgregor had beaten a legit top 5 fighter at FW or even a top 10 fighter than he would look more legit. I think i Know more about macgregor than some casual ufc bandwagon fan if he beats money mendes he is deserving of a title shot.
here is a list of fighters ranked in the top 15 who would easily beat Macgregor at FW

Edgar
Mendes
Lamas
Swanson
Oliveria
Bermudez
Guida
Stephens
I'll give u all those but cub Swanson. I think McGregor beats him

You people? That's racist.


If he beats Mendez I will be shocked. I won't make any excuses. I just don't believe he's on the same level as these guys..I think Faber will beat him that's how little faith I have in mcgregors mediocre looking skills. He skipped everyone because he wouldn't have made it to the top without facing some monsters... i understand the ufc desperately needs someone , anyone to fight aldo so they found this dumbass and fed him to a shark. He's lucky jose got hurt.. well u guess not ,now he's fighting another shark. After he gets torn to pieces Ima come talk to you.
Lol Mendez won't lose. He has a granite chin both his hands are heavy for his weight class and come from a div one wrestling background.. he will put McGregor on his back. He has been training taking people down since grade school homies. Mendez will dictate were the fight goes at all times.

both are just gatekeepers.

Hollowway is tough and can take a beaing but he is in no way skilled enough to be a legit contender.

Porier is good but he too is in no way a legit contender either sure he isnt even in FW division anymore because he couldnt make weight at 145.
Dustin would crush McGregor at 155.. imo. He looks like a different fighter up a weight class. The cut must have been ruff

He demolished Brimage in the first round, stood toe to toe with Holloway with a torn ACL, still won, and ran through his next three opponents in under 8 minutes and his previous 8 fights before entering the UFC were all finishes. He has 12 finishes in his last 13 fights...

Have you ever seen his KO over Buchinger?



The dudes striking is on point as much as anyone in the division, including Aldo and he has a fuckin' 8" reach advantage over Mendes!

Mendes is getting TKO'd, guaranteed
Aldo muay Thai is better by far then McGregor s. McGregor is a tkd bb but he is no way as sick as a striker as let's say Anthony Showtime Pettis or even that new Mexican fighter something Hernandez... Or spider Silva or even Benson Henderson .. and all those guys aside from being Tkd bbs are also much well rounded. Ive seen sicker stand-up. In all forms muay Thai. Western boxing. Tae Kwan do. Even karate if u want to include old school 15-0 machida

Watch this fight


One of the main reasons Aldo is so goddamn good is because of his defense, the dude never gets hit, he covers up like a professional when the attack is coming, and he can time it perfectly!

What I think makes that fight interesting is McGregors ability to administer the unorthodox strike he can't prepare for. He's coming from all angles, Jose won't know how to handle it because he's never had to train for it, and 6 weeks training camp can't prepare you for it.

When you watch film on McGregor, he comes from all angles, 100%, and he's intelligent, he knows when to attack and when to cover up, like Aldo.
